contain.
This project of the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble and Ensemble Resonanz (Hamburg, Germany), travels along the questions of containing, of shipping and shifting cultural identities. With new compositions of Berlin-based collaborative composer Simon James Philipps, installations by Hong Kong-based composer and concept artist Samson Young, the concert performance opens a space of in-betweenness. With streaming sounds, videos and interview fragments, deep darkness and lights, musicians and audience float through states of disorientation. This project explores different sensations of getting lost, and new ways of coming together in the in-between. This is water, a no man’s land.2019-2021 | collaborative music project between Hong Kong and Hamburg
